My first three suggestions:


General David Petraeus, leader of the magnificent U.S. military effort in Iraq. So much has been said about his intelligence and prowess, it need not be repeated here. I admire his professionalism and poise when he testified before Congress. I would've wanted to jump over the table and put some color on the faces of some of those Neville Chamberlain wannabes. So he's smart AND restrained.


James Inhofe, Senator from Oklahoma. He has been the leading voice in Washington to take on Al Gore's idiotic global warming scaremongering. I want to shake his hand someday.



Nicolas Sarkozy, French President. Walking off the set of 60 Minutes would get him a nomination immediately, but he also won in France with a conservative message and an embrace of America. A great quote from this European leader sounds Reaganesque: "I reject the kind of naive, wishful thinking that makes every delinquent a victim of society and every riot a social problem."

Can we have a three way tie? Those were all good choices.

General Petraeus sounds like the best choice to this conservative.

Great idea. Great choices presented so far.

I would agree General David Petraeus tops my list with honorable mention to every American in the armed forces PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE.

If I would have said "Ron Paul," it would have been Removed by Moderator, so instead I'll say Packers QB Brett Favre

Fred Thompson is a close second. We need that man in the Presidency. God help America if Hillary or Obama wins.

Well, I agree with you all on your choices, but I thought you meant actual "FR" Person of the Year, and in that case, I would nominate snugs!
